Virtual Spring Open Houses Set for Prospective Students, Families

April 01, 2020

SUNY Plattsburgh is hosting two virtual spring open house events Saturday, April 4
and Saturday, April 25, special events to give prospective students a look at the
college from the safety and comfort of home.

With social distancing and stay-home orders making in-person visits impossible, the
Office of Admissions is doing the next best thing and offering students the same open
house schedule remotely. Student and their families can connect live for chats with
faculty and staff, take student-led virtual tours of campus and learn more about majors,
student life and campus services.

Each Saturday event will feature:

A live admissions presentation with a student panel highlighting academics, campus
life and the admissions process

Live academic and campus break-out sessions with faculty and staff

Virtual tours narrated live by a current student

Live Q&A sessions with faculty, staff and students

President Alexander Enyedi will welcome students and families beginning at 10 a.m.
each day followed by four admissions presentations offered at 10:15 and 11:15 a.m.,
and 12:15 and 1:15 p.m.

At 11 a.m., 12:15 and 1:15 p.m. each of the two Saturdays, Kerry Lubold, associate
director of financial aid, will present a live presentation covering federal and state
aid options, financial aid summary information, Excelsior Scholarship details and
more. Participants can ask questions and find out how to schedule one-on-one financial
aid meetings with an adviser.

Academic break-out sessions featuring panels of faculty sharing more about majors
and hands-on learning opportunities will take place at 11 and 11:45 a.m., and 12:30
p.m. Campus life sessions will be held at the same times, where participants can learn
about student activities, campus living and academic support opportunities with representatives
from:

Student Life

Study Abroad

Student Support Services

Global Education Office

Live virtual tours of campus led by a currently enrolled student will take place at
11 and 11:45 a.m., 12:30 and 1 p.m. Students and their families will be able to ask
